“I’ve always said that it was those years of working for ETM that made me into the teacher I am today.” This is from ETM Alum, Kevin Heathwood. After starting his teaching career with ETM back in 2011, Kevin has gone on to become the band director at Townsend Harris High School in Queens and one of the associate conductors for the All City Concert Band. Kevin shares with us how he got involved with ETM, what he loves most about teaching, and the impact ETM has had on his career.

“Music class helped me realize what I’m capable of.” That’s from a student at partner school HS 223 in the Bronx, and we couldn’t agree more. We’re so proud of the growth of our teachers and students this year and the impact they’ve made through music. As we look to the fall, we intend to build upon this impact and expand our program to additional under-resourced schools across NYC — and we urgently need your support to accomplish this goal. Time is running out to help us raise $100,000 before June 30. More schools means more students will have music class to look forward to, express themselves, and realize their potential. End the school year on a high note with us by giving today. Link in bio or at etmonline.org/donate
